A duke, and fully many a peas-

So the people said something

But their projocts did not at all

Some said; “Put a fence 'round

Some.. “An nmbulance down in

But the cry for tho nmbulanec
carried the day.
For It spread through tho neigh

A fenco^iay bo useful enough, it
But each heart became brimful'
